TSF kicks off Christmas week with a bonkers speech to his cult

Donald Trump gave a speech to a bunch of right-wing Turning Point USA freaks on Sunday, in which he threatened to take control of the Panama Canal, spewed dangerous anti-vaccine garbage, said he would once again name military bases after Confederate traitors, and seemed annoyed at the “co-president” chatter about Elon Musk.

The speech in Phoenix was the headline of Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest 2024, which celebrated Trump’s victory and the coming Christian holidays with speeches from accused statutory rapist Matt Gaetz; Russian puppets Tucker Carlson, Tim Pool, and Benny Johnson; and convicted felon Roger Stone, among others.

Trump rehashed the greatest hits of his campaign rallies, including the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him and the lie that undocumented immigrants are escaping mental institutions to come to the United States. It wouldn’t be a Trump speech to his echo chamber if he didn’t denigrate windmills.

He also made some new bizarre and incendiary comments. For one, Trump threatened to take back the Panama Canal from Panama.
